THE SALEMITE
Page Three.
Perhaps the best unprofessional
to judge the performance of
Strauss’ ‘ ‘ Gypsy Baron”, presented
V the New York City Opera Com-
P®oy at Reynold’s Auditorium Wed
nesday night, is to give some com-
Wciits and criticisms overhead
tlirough the courtesy of the Duke
^O'ver Company. For, after all, the
*'"6 test of a performance is its
Audience reaction, and on the buses
^'led with Salem girls returning
the concert, there was not only
audience but also reaction.
Most of the comments ran: “'Well,
started off kinda slow, but it did
up with a bang” . . . and “Most
the voices weren’t exceptional,
but Weren’t the costumes and set-
^‘fgs colorful?” ... “I was surpris
ed that so much of the libretto was
®Poken” . . , “Well, you see, that’s
"hat made it an operetta”. . . “And
"’asn’t Zsupan—the old pig farmer
scream! And do you know, a
®ember of^ the cast sat right be-
I'nd mg
^upan had a terrible case of laryn-
. . . Another informed critique
®*Plained that bad acoustics in the
'”'®hestra pit accounted for the over-
^ftehning tone quality of the orches-
The worn and weary stage man-
collapsing into a seat on a local
Us leaving the auditorium, replied
° 3 comment by one of the Salem
Sirls, “Veil vee didn’t get here un-
^ seven, and vee had to hurry to
^®t the whole stage set after vee
®’'''ivecl.” But these were only tact-
®-'tplanations of the rough spots
the performance; for most dis-
wore the excellent voices of
oris Doree, who sang the role of
th Teresa Gerson, who won
s house with hr characterization of
old gypsy woman, Czipra. The
^®stuines, lighting, and scenery were
■''eptional for a touring eomi>any,
'"'rt the audince generally agreed
tl,e Xew York City Opera Com-
had provided an entertaining,
evening.

Cupid w'as certainly playing a
happy game this week. What with
Valentine’s Day breaking the mono
tony of classes. There were enough
empty florist boxes sitting around in
the halls to break your neck over.
Betsy Long done right well for her
self. Ed whs playing all kinds of
Cupid, what w'ith cut flowers, one
dozen roses and then an orchid. That
is carrying it just a little too far.
We keep telling ourselves that we
didn’t like orchids anyway. Jimmie
sent those red I Love You roses
to his Betty Harris, and there was
too much candy to be mentioned.
Janie’s and Bettye’s room smelled
like a florist’s shop. Janie had a
birthday to add to the general con
fusion, but the glow on her face
comes from Jimmie’s letter. Bettye
had her ever faithful Dicko here last
wek-end. Dicko got to see more of
the campus than he expected to
see. Bunny Bunn thinks that Santa
Claus, spelled -with a PELL, has
come her- way. She received her
“first orchid” from him for the
dance, and before that one had even
started to wilt, another one apj>ear-
ed to take its place. Henny and
Boaty spent the afternoon trying to
find someone to receive a Valentino
from, and Mac started to make her
own. Light still wants to know who
Susie Q. Snuffbricket is. She re
ceived a Valentine signjd by the
above, (We can’t spell it twice.)
Bounchie is now sporting a new
shiny fraternity pin from Wes, and
that is big news. At the same time,
Carol, in - love - with - Van - Johnson
(Who isn’t) Gregory is running
around looking for hers. Polly Star-
buck is all excited and really pleased
because she received some more
pink camelias from her Ed.
This sweetheart contest sounds
like great fun. Judging from the
wonderful pictures we have seen
sitting around in conspicious places
and hanging on the walls, the results
should, be very interesting.
The Duke Glee Club caused quite
a stir on our peace-loving campus.
It is not often we have men just
“forced on us” (Bliss). Seems like
some of the girls did all right for
themselves at the dance. There was
the usual amount of snaking, but
that all adds upto a successful
dance. The gym certainly looked
grand and we all had a wonderful
time.
We wish to steal a phrase from one
Johnny Mercer. “Ending on this
happy note, We remain yours truly
—unquote.

Miss Green Tells Club
Of New Spring Fashions
Last Friday, February 9, the Home
Economics Club had as their guest
Miss Green of Montaldo’s who spoke
on the subject “Spring Fashions”.
Miss Green emphasized the easier
silhouet of this spring’s incoming
fashions; lines are more natural and
easier to wear.
Suits will not be strictly tailored,
but will be softer giving a mpre
feminine look. Although skirts will
not be full, they will be somewhat
fuller than last year. ShouUlers w'ill
be built out and eniphaisis will be
on the doll waist line. In design,
checks and stripes will be most out
standing; in color, everything—
especially the bright and gay.
Three quarter length toppers are
to be Worn over these suits. White
and a new shade called white wine
are the newcomers as colors.
Hat designs vary from a mass of
flowers and veils to a beret worn
over one eye. Sailors will be popular,
anil bonnets are staging a comeback.
All will be small.
A new fabric formerly called five
o’clock crepe, now named chee chee
crepe, w’ill be used for dresses for
evening occasions. Instead of cotton,
jersey will be widely used. Peplums,
drapes, boat - necklines, and cap
sleeves are the main features of ■
design. Color is bold, for now there
is a piixing together of blues which
never before have been put together.
Priced
The tenderness of Chopin . . . the wispiness of the
waltz are caught and held in this dream of a dress
for dancing ... So fair, it is . . . with its moulded
])odiee, its bouffant skirt ... its enchanting pfiF-
the-shoulder line. It’s only one of a collection of
dresses to d^nce in . . .
